INSTRUCTIONS
Deep-fry shrimp as in "Basic Deep-fried Shrimp". Shell and parboil peas. In one cup, combine sherry, soy sauce, salt and pepper. In another cup, blend cornstarch and cold water to a paste. Heat remaining oil. Add deep-fried shrimp and parboiled peas; stir-fry briefly to heat through. Add sherry-soy mixture and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in cornstarch paste to thicken, and serve at once. VARIATIONS: For the peas, substitute the following (diced, and in any combination): smoked ham, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, or snow peas. Instead of coating shrimp with batter, as in "Basic Deep-fried Shrimp", dredge in a mixture of 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 teaspoon salt. Deep-fry until pinkish and drain on paper toweling. Omit steps 3 and 5. In step 4, add with the shrimp and peas 2 teaspoons sherry and stir-fry 2 minutes. Then serve at once. From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
